Trackers: The Empire Founders

Trackers: This is a story set in a Post Apocalyptic World. I could have just written a story about primitive cave people but I wanted the option of a cannon or a submachine gun being introduced. I wanted to try a story without zombies as the primary threat. Life without the conveniences we have come to accept as necessary to everyday life would be threatening enough. Fighting competing survivors as well as nature without falling back into a feudal system would be near impossible.
As a survivalist I guess I feel copper jacketed lead is a better investment than gold.
